David Matteson
Writer / Cinematographer / Foley Artist / Producer

Born and raised in Phoenix Arizona, David has been working with the arts and film since he was a kid. His parents bought him his first video camera when he was 8 years old. He thanked them for the gift then ran outside to start filming everything he could. His interest in making movies was contagious and soon his high school friends joined him in making a televised cable-access variety show that lasted 3 seasons. In 2000, David met fellow filmmaker Hayden Blades and the group (Perspective Pictures Media) produced their first short film together titled Good Things. After winning an award for Best Cinematography on their short film The Heaviness of Here in 2006, David and Hayden joined the filming crew of Stephen C Krystekís Not Quite Dead, and they have been making films together ever since. Davidís filmmaking interests lie behind the camera, usually as cinematographer, but he has also worked as a writer, co-director, sound engineer, music and effects composer, and several other post-production positions. He also is active in Arizonaís local arts and music scene, working with SLAM, Sonik, and ProVoke magazines, as well as working as a graphic and multimedia designer.
